FAQ
It depends on the size and complexity of your organisation, your existing processes and documentation, and the resources available. Typically, ISO 14001 implementation can take between 3 and 6 months, depending on the scope of the project.
We have a 100% success rate guiding our clients through ISO 14001 certification, however, it’s important to note that the certificate we support you through is carried by an entirely independent, accredited certification body and by its nature is not something we can ever guarantee. We believe this gives you a level of compliance that is second to none.
Yes. We can provide ongoing support to help you maintain compliance with the standard and continually improve your environmental management system. This can include regular internal audits, facilitating management reviews, training and guidance on process improvements, and helping you address any areas where you are no longer meeting the standard.
Yes. It’s perfectly possible, and some businesses do so if they have suitable expertise in-house. However, ISO 14001 implementation can be complex, time-consuming and easily postponed in favour of more immediate issues. Working with an experienced ISO 14001 consultant can help make sure all requirements are met effectively and efficiently.
Certification is maintained through periodic surveillance audits by your certification body; if the organisation stops meeting the standard’s requirements, certification can be suspended. You need to keep monitoring and improving your environmental management system to retain it. Our consultants can provide ongoing support to help you maintain your certification.
